Neck Aches? Practice This Particular Exercise to Get Rid of Pesky Aches!

Neck and shoulder aches are pain in the butt.  Literally.

I’ve always had aches from my neck to my upper back.  The feeling was so overwhelming – almost as if I’m carrying the world atop of me.  The worst thing?  Nobody around me understands this because they didn’t experience this.  This became even worse during my exam period!

Trust me, I’ve done yoga, went for massages and rubbed ointment onto my aches.  But ultimately, the stubborn aches never disappeared.  It was so annoying!

Until one day I was nudged to look into the mirror and consciously noticed that my posture was off.  A revelation struck me.

I’d remembered the stories that princesses had to go for posture classes.  They had to constantly stand tall and upright for status purposes.  This thus made me realise that I needed to do that in order to stop the pain as well!  Recall the picture of girls walking around with books on top of their heads?  That’s how you overcome ’em friggin’ neckaches y’all! 

Since I’ve always had neckaches every couple of days, I decided to give this a try – standing tall, aligning my neck with my hips and my feet.  (This was what yoga taught me – check out YogawithAdriene guys!) 

It has been 5 days since I’d did that and fixed my posture.  My pain has lessened by 70%!

Being mindful about our posture is SO important!

I literally fixed myself.  Easy peasy!

So this is for all you folks out there who has neck aches but have not figured out the root problem yet.  I truly hope that this post encourages you to constantly stand proud and tall wherever you go (even when you don’t have neck aches like me)!

Only when you’re in alignment, it is when everything falls into place. #thisworks  #posturematters

Until next time,

Have fun, stay awesome & laugh always!
